BUTTERFLY PARK - DUBAIPreliminary considerationsThe idea for a park in Dubai, apart from a bare framework of needs for information, take the incipit certain compositional data available both in relation to morphological and environmental context, both historical stress arising from the Arab tradition of the gardens.The indication of siting future park near the airport already reveals the intention that the system is clearly visible from above seen, however, its size of about forty acres. Moreover, its recognition is undoubtedly determined by its particular morphology in a butterfly shape.Lacking a clear picture of needs and guidance that could help understand the true aspiration of 'landscape intervention, intended uses, but may be arbitrary, we have developed around the image that is more immediate prorprio that of the butterfly. An attempt has, therefore, to imagine a theme park on butterflies.The projectMorphologically the plant in the park, though, reproduces as closely as possible the shape of a butterfly, of which it borrows the goddess of color and movement, it draws inspiration from the compositional types of traditional Arab gardens quadripartite, is reinterpreted in depending on the particular morphology is a function of its destination theme.One particular suggestion is, however, date from propagini lapping on the urban desert of Dubai. The desert suggests an idea of plasticity playful. Thanks to the mobility of dunes and sand, always ready to record the fingerprints of those who came into contact with them.The latter suggestion has awarded a three-dimensional implant unexpected. The shape of the butterfly plunges his mark on the desert sands, and while the body, with its specific gravity, a vacuum, where services will be located and most of the facilities of the park, the wings, lighter, they rise through four cardinal directions. The particular form that the plant assumes a basin shape, carry out, basically, two aspects, an order specifically functional, which will create an optimal microclimate for daytime use also of the park, saw the considerable local temperatures, and an exquisitely composition which is to reveal its glory, the vitality and richness only after passing through the inputs.The park entrance is basically two points, facing each other.Here, the four parts of the park contain a series of pools with fountains particularly evocative art, which basically reproduce the idea of the movement of the wings, with tall columns of water that gush from them rhythmically.Details integrated multimedia systems allow the real show of water, light and music, especially with the very charming evening and nighttime hours.The pools of water identified on the vegetation along trails and a sequence of "patios" and enclosed spaces, accessible thanks to the shade structures in wood and steel or colored steel panels, which are present over most of the park.The destination theme, introduced in this design phase, identifies the park, areas and volumes devoted to the knowledge, interaction and observation of butterflies.Four aviaries steel and colored glass are placed on the four parts of the park. Here the butterflies, with the ability to create the ideal microclimate, can live in freedom and coloring the air with their evocative hues, interacting with the users of the park. The two larger aviaries, placed next to the main entrance are connected directly through a flight path from which you can also admire the complexity of the whole park.The water is certainly, together with vegetation and color to the main character, just as in the best tradition of Arabic.Some versions, much more playful, with fountains, ingrado to draw in figures and words, will be placed at the entrances of the main bodies of the services and inputs.Most of the volumes in the middle of the park contain facilities for the enjoyment of the park and a series of themed environments in which systems with computerized multimedia you can interact and play with ceilings and walls.These volumes and colored glass are covered by a tight structure and covered with tiles and mosaics with colorful designs that are reminiscent of fractals vibrantly colored butterflies and, for the structure, which historically tends to the Middle East in the archetype of the house.Particular attention will be paid to the surfaces of paved patios and paths, thanks to materials that enhance the appearance and color vision.The lighting plays in the gardens, contemporary a key role, especially at night. The pools and fountains are full of light and color through computerized systems and dimmed along with the music, give rise to fascinating and evocative performances.Designed in 2010
